Tech billionaire and White House adviser Elon Musk is heavily involved in the Wisconsin Supreme Court election, where he has endorsed conservative candidate Brad Schimel. Musk has donated $3 million to the Wisconsin Republican Party and his super PAC, America PAC, has spent over $12 million in support of Schimel. Musk has offered large cash prizes to people who attend his speeches and sign conservative-leaning petitions. Democrats have criticized Musk’s involvement, with one candidate accusing him of trying to buy Schimel a seat on the court. Musk’s playbook in Wisconsin mirrors his engagement in the 2024 presidential election, where his super PAC spent millions to support President Trump. Musk has also been involved in the special election in Florida, where America PAC has spent around $76,000 in independent expenditures. Musk’s heavy public involvement in Wisconsin has made him a central figure in the battle for partisan control of the state Supreme Court, aligning with Republican efforts to motivate the base before the election. Despite Musk’s efforts, a majority of registered voters in Wisconsin view him unfavorably, though his contributions to the Wisconsin race have sparked controversy and criticism from Democrats.
